I first met Yuri just over a year ago, over a discussion of
web-accessibility for visually impaired users. Neither then
nor on any other occasion did I feel like I was speaking with
the "President" of SoftQuad; rather I felt as if I were
talking with a pleasant, smart and enthusiastic colleague
with wide ranging interests and an infectious way of making
the people around him (namely me!) feel excited by what they
were doing.
It was fun spending time with Yuri, and I will miss him.
